Creating A Dialog Window from a Win32 Console program

[Dave 1]

I would like to create a dialog window from a win32 console program, but i dont know how to go about doing this. Anyone know how? I created the CALLBACK procedure, and the resource template, but when i go to call CreateDialog(), i do know what to pass in for the current instance, and the parent window, and NULL does not work (it will compile, but it won't create the window). --Dave

Hi Dave I think what is missing is ShowWindow(SW_SHOW); NULL as a parent works fine, I tested it CTestDlg::CTestDlg(CWnd* pParent) : CDialog(CTestDlg::IDD, pParent) { Create(CTestDlg::IDD, pParent); ShowWindow(SW_SHOW); }
